The Department of Health and Social Care are making it quicker and easier for people to get the care they need, closer to home.

Think Pharmacy First 💊

Patients can now see a pharmacist first and do not need a GP appointment or a prescription to get advice and treatment for certain conditions.

It’s easy, you can just walk in!

You may also be referred by an NHS provider, like NHS 111, or your GP practice.

Treatment may be an over-the-counter medicine or prescription medication, depending on the clinical needs of the patient.
No appointment is needed.
Private consultation rooms are available for confidential discussions.

Please note: If you have prolonged or recurrent symptoms or skin discolouration, or are pregnant or breastfeeding, then you will need to contact your GP surgery.

August is National Immunisation Awareness Month, a great opportunity to learn more about the vaccines that help protect children from serious illnesses 💉💙

Vaccinations are one of the most effective ways to protect against infectious diseases and help keep our communities healthy 👍

The MMRV vaccine protects children against four illnesses:
• Measles
• Mumps
• Rubella
• Varicella (chickenpox) 👶

These illnesses can sometimes lead to serious complications, including pneumonia, meningitis and other health problems ⚠️

The MMRV vaccine is offered as part of the NHS routine childhood vaccination programme and helps provide important protection during early childhood 💙

Making sure your child receives their vaccinations on time helps protect them and those around them 🛡️

If you're unsure whether your child is up to date with their vaccinations, speak to your GP practice for advice 👍

If you receive an NHS screening invitation, don't ignore it – book it 💙📩

NHS screening programmes are designed to identify potential health problems before symptoms appear, giving you the best chance of receiving treatment early if needed 🩺

Screening is offered to different groups of people at different stages of life and can help detect conditions such as certain cancers, abdominal aortic aneurysms and other health concerns before they become more serious ⚠️

Most screening tests are quick, simple and free through the NHS 👍

Even if you feel well, it's important to attend when invited. Screening can provide reassurance or help identify problems early, when treatment is often more effective 💙

If you've received a screening invitation, take a few moments to book your appointment. It could make a significant difference to your health and wellbeing 🌟
